Ben Howard is a Devon-born singer-songwriter whose fingerpicked acoustic guitar work and deeply introspective lyrics have made him one of contemporary folk's most artistically restless voices. His debut Every Kingdom established him as a major folk talent, and subsequent albums I Forget Where We Were and Collections from the Whiteout showed an artist continually expanding his sonic palette toward something darker and more expansive.

This North and South American Tour stop brings Ben Howard to Asheville for what promises to be an intimate and emotionally resonant evening. Howard's live performances are celebrated for their atmospheric depth and his ability to hold rooms in a state of genuine quiet. North and South American Tour

Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 8:00 PM. 18+. Ben Howard performs at The Orange Peel, 101 Biltmore Ave, Downtown Asheville NC. A rare and special folk rock concert in Asheville.

The Orange Peel is Downtown Asheville's premier live music venue and concert hall, booking national touring acts across rock, hip-hop, indie, electronic, and beyond at 101 Biltmore Ave. With one of the best sound systems of any mid-size venue in the Southeast, the 1,000-capacity room keeps you close to the stage without the chaos of a larger arena. Downstairs, Pulp lounge streams the main stage live for a more relaxed alternative.

The sound at The Orange Peel is genuinely exceptional for a venue this size — you can hear every instrument clearly even on a packed Saturday night. It's the kind of room where you actually want to show up early and stay late. Seen everything from sold-out indie rock nights to hip-hop headliners here and it never disappoints.
